Sahifa Alawiya
By:
Amirul Mo-mineen Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.)
An Introduction
Seeing the usefulness of Sahifa Kamila - the collection of supplications of
Imam Zainul Aabedeen (a.s.), our scholars began to compile supplications of other
Masoomeen (a.s.). Abdullah bin Saleh Samahiji collected the supplications of Hazrat
Amirul Mo-mineen Ali Ibne Abi Talib (a.s.) and named the collection: Sahifa
Alawiya.
Other scholars also compiled their collections of Duas related from Imam
Ali (a.s.) but the collection that became most popular was that of Abdullah bin Saleh.
It had 160 Duas.
Sahifa Alawiya was first published in 1305 A.H. (1887 A.D.) from Bombay.
Then from Majmaul Bahrayn Press, Ludhiana and after this in 1311 A.H. (1893 A.D.)
from Tehran. The fourth time it was published from Nizami Press, Lucknow with
translation and commentary in 1371 A.H. (1951 A.D.). But it is regretful that it did
not mention the sources.
The supplications of Sahifa Alawiya can be broadly divided into two
sections. The expression of Allah's slaveship and the entreaties of the supplicant.
Each of the supplications is a masterpiece of the expression of ones helplessness
before the grandeur of the Almighty and only a personality like Ali (a.s.) could have
composed such Duas.
The present English Version is based on the Urdu translation of Sahifa
Alawiya by Maulana Sayyid Murtuza Husain Lakhnavi, republished by Hyderi Kutub
Khana.
We have tried our best to make the translation conform to original Arabic
text, however if the readers find any aberration they are requested to inform us, so
that we can make the necessary changes in later editions.

Dua of Imam (a.s.) in Praise of Allah, the
Most High and Glorified
Famous as ''Dua-e-Yastasheer''
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
All praise is due to Allah except Whom there is no god and He is the Living, the
Self-existing, the everlasting, the King, the Manifest Truth. He is the
Administrator without any minister. And He does not consult any of His slaves
from His creations. He is the First, Who cannot be described. He is Eternal
and will live forever, (even) after the annihilation of all creatures. He is the
greatest Lord, the Light of the earths and heavens. And their Originator and
Creator without visible supports. He created both of them and separated them a
proper separation. The heavens became stable in obedience to His command
and the lands became fixed on the surface of the water with their pegs. Then
our Lord the All-Merciful subdued the high heavens and ruled from the Throne.
Everything that is in heavens and in the earth and in between them and what is
below the earth belongs to Him. So, I bear witness that verily You are Allah.
There is none to elevate what You have lowered and no one to exalt him whom
You leave in disgrace and no one to bring into disgrace whom You exalt and no
one to prevent from one whom You bestow Your favour and no one to bestow
anything, which You have withheld. And You are Allah; there is no god but
You. Who existed when there was neither the stable sky nor the broad earth
nor the brilliant sun nor the dark night, nor the bright day, nor the vast and
stormy sea, nor any stable mountain, nor any revolving planet, nor the luminous
moon, nor any blowing wind, nor any raining cloud, nor flashing lightning, nor
any praising thunder, nor any breathing soul, nor any flying bird, nor any
blazing fire, nor any flowing water. You existed before the existence of

everything. You enriched some and reduced others to poverty, caused some to
die and brought others to life, and made some people glad and others weep.
Verily You rule from the Throne. You are of vast blessing, O Allah You are
Great and Supreme. You are Allah and there is no god other than You. You
are the all-Knowing Creator. Your Decree is overpowering and Your
Knowledge is operative. Your strategy is wonderful; Your promise is true; Your
word is right; Your command is just; Your utterance is right guidance; Your
Revelation is light; Your mercy is vast; Your forgiveness is great; Your grace is
excessive; Your gift is most respectable; Your cord is strong; Your might is
ever ready; Your protégé is powerful; Your wrath is severe; and Your
stratagem is entrapping. O Lord! With You are lodged all complaints. You are
present in all gatherings, and are the witness of all secrets, and the ultimate
goal of all supplications, the expeller of all sorrows, the affluence of every
needy person, the stronghold for every refugee, security for everyone who is
terror-stricken, a shield for the weak, a treasure for the indigent, the destroyer
of sorrows, the helper of the virtuous. Such is Allah, Lord of the worlds. Our
Lord, there is no god but He. And You suffice Your servants and are helper of
those who rely on You. You are the helper of one who is firmly attached to You
and humiliates oneself before You, a shield for one who seeks refuge with You,
the help of one who looks up to You for help, the forgiver of sins for one who
begs Your pardon, the Powerful over the powerful ones, the most grand of the
grand, the most great of the great, the master of masters, the Lord of lords, the
Succour of the grieved, the Helper of those crying for help, the Responder to
the call of the distressed, the best of all listeners, the best of all observers, the
best of all judges, the quickest of all reckoners, the most merciful of all the
merciful, the best of all forgivers, the satisfier of the needs of the faithful, and
the hearer of the appeals of the virtuous. You are Allah; there is no god but
You. You are the Lord of all the worlds. You are the Creator and I am a
creature. You are the Ruler and I am the subject, You are the Lord and I am a
slave. You are the Provider while I am provided with sustenance, You are the

Giver while I am a beggar, You are the Generous while I am a miser. You are
the Mighty while I am weak; You are the Noble while I am humble. You are the
independent while I am needy. You are the Master while I am the slave. You
are the Forgiver of sins while I am sinful. You are the Omniscient while I am
ignorant. You are the forbearing while I am hasty. You are the All Merciful and
I have been treated with mercy. You are the Provider of safety but I am
involved in suffering. You are the Responder and I am the distressed. And I
bear witness that verily You are Allah, there is no god but You. You bestow
favours upon Your slaves even without their asking. And I bear witness that
verily You are Allah, the One, the Peerless, the Unique, the independent, the
Single, and verily to You we must return. May the blessings of Allah be upon
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his family the holy and pure. O Lord, forgive my sins
and keep my faults concealed and extend to me Your special mercy and
bounteous sustenance. O the All merciful! All praise is due to Allah the Lord of
all the worlds. And for us Allah is the Sufficient and the excellent Protector.
There is neither might nor power but with Allah the Great, the Exalted.

(2)
His Prayer for Eulogizing Allah and
Expressing His greatness
Praise is for Allah Who is the foremost of the Praised and the one Who
deserved to be worshiped till the end. Who is nearer than all those who
are present, Whose limit is unknown as He is eternal, Whose beginning
has no limit, W ho was before everyone without being needing to be
everywhere but is not to be seen, Who is near to the secret gathering
without being near. Being hidden is like apparency for Him. And the
heart is lost in His greatness. Neither eyes can know His Heights nor the
heart due to His imperceptibility deny His recognition. He is visible in the
hearts but neither imagination nor feelings can ever imagine or fantasize

Him. T hen He guarded His greatness above any opposites, likes,
shapes and example and made His Uniqueness as a miracle of Lord.
And made the coming generation as proof of His Creation and Power,
then He created (Human) from a drop, although there was nothing
before it. This is a proof that after destruction He will again create as He
had created the first time. Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds Who
does not lose due to disobedience of the proud ones and the
worshippers do not benefit Him by their obedience. For the rebellious He
is forbearing and He overlooks the one who ascribes a partner to Him.
He is forever powerful without any limit. He will remain in His kingdom till
the annihilation of His Creatures. He is Unique without a similarity and is
independent. He doesn’t have a spouse or children. He raised the skies
without any support or pillars, moved the clouds without any binding. He
is a caretaker of infinite creations but He is Allah the Unique W ho
neither begets nor is begotten and there is none like unto Him. And
praise is for Allah from W hose bounties do not deprive even the
disobedient ones. He encompasses even those who disobey Him and
Whose smallest obligation can never be compensated by the greatest of
the Worshippers. He is so needless that He is not stingy to sustain even
those who deny His existence and sustaining the entire Universe does
not decrease His bounties. Creator of the universe and the One to
destroy it and the One to resurrect it again, manifest it and to
recompense for their deeds. He is aware of every secret and everything
concealed in the hearts and whatever is conveyed through tongues. He
is aware of all the things which are destroyed by the earth. He is alive
and has no death, such a Creator Who does not sleep and will continue
to exist without being extinct. He is Just W ho does not oppress. He
forgives the Great sins by His Grace. If He chastises it is with justice.
Neither does He destroys a thing fearing its discontinuance nor does He
favours a thing due to its need. He has mentioned in His everlasting and
firm book: "And were Allah to punish men for what they earn, He would
not leave on the earth any creature.” I wish to Praise Him in such a way
that it becomes a request to Him for increasing the bounties. And I seek
refuge from His wrath. And I verify His messenger, Mustafa (s.a.w.a.) so

that I achieve nearness to him. That messenger whom He chose for
revelation and for His Prophethood. That Prophet who is endowed with
intercession and is responsible for his rights. W hose name is
Muhammad, peace be on him, on his progeny and on his companions
and on all the Prophets and the Messengers and all the Angles. May
Allah protect them all. O my God! Hopes are destroyed, times have
changed, the tongues have lied and promises are wrong. Only Your
promise is a promise and You have said that You will forgive and Grace
us. O Allah! Bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny, give me from
Your Grace, grant me refuge from the accursed Satan. You are pure,
W e praise You. How Great, Exalted and Honoured are You! Your
forbearance also covers the arrogant. Your bounties have flooded the
thanks of the thanks-giver. Your forbearance is more than what the
evaluations value. Your obligations is above all those who praise You.
Had Your grace not been there why then would Your mercy be on the
people? Those whom You created with a drop when they were nothing,
then You sustained them by Your pure sustenance and by Your
continuous bounties You made them reach great heights. You made
them owners of Your lands and You called them towards Your
obedience, but they were ungrateful to Your bounties, they denied Your
existence, they bowed down before others in Your kingdom (instead of
You). W hat had happened if Your endurance had not given me an
opportunity (to repent) although before it (opportunity) You had
concealed it in the veils, honoured it with Your recognition, gave power
to the tongue to offer thanks to You, show me the path for Your
obedience. You made the way of Your graces easy for me. You placed
the way of achieving nearness (to You) in front of me. But the
compensation of all Your goodness from me was I recompensed evil for
goodness due to which You were displeased. Infatuated by such things,
Your great Chastisement which I deserve, I comprehend it to be less.
Your pleasure which is miles away I am running on that Path, involved in
my hopes, totally heedless to the warnings of death, completely
unconcerned of Your destruction which I am undergoing. Although Your
promise has already reached me that You expect (good) deeds from my

strength throughout my life. Now the situation is such that after
committing the greatest of sins I call upon You to increase Your
bounties, which will not come to me (as I don't deserve it) whereas Your
wrath is on me, but I am lazy due to Your excessive grace. Fully satisfied
on Your abundant sustenance, control on Your bounties in spite of
disobedience as if converting good deeds of the people into bad deeds.
I am awaiting Your mercy impatiently. I am presenting my long hopes in
Your presence as if I am satisfied with Your wrath. Surely we are from
Allah and unto Him shall we return. (2:156). This is such a calamity,
which is full of sorrow and is liable for a great chastisement. On the
contrary I think that what would have happened if I had no hopes and if
the promise of forgiving my sins were not there. I am confident of Your
forgiveness although I have committed greater sins openly. I hid myself
from all Your creatures little realizing about Your presence. My Lord!
How shall I face You? And how shall I beseech You? After accepting the
covenant I have done breach of trust. I have made You my sponsor and
security but still showed excessiveness in doing sins. In spite of all this
You called me. I was dependent on You still I did not answer You. Oh
what a calamity and how a shameful display of immoral behaviour. Alas!
What courage that I have deceived myself. But You are Pure and Great.
Now I wish to come near You. And I give You the oath of Your right that I
have come to take refuge from Your wrath. Due to my own disobedience
I have become liable for Your chastisement. You have not done injustice
on me due to my ignorance I was deceived not because of Your
tolerance. I have lost my right. Your right is intact, I have oppressed
myself. Now my hopes are on You. My confidence is on You, my faith is
on You and in Your presence I humbly submit my repentance and
helplessness. T hus have mercy on my condition. W ith complete
movement in my faith, and head bowed in shame I present myself. I am
troubled at the grief of my sins. Surely You are the Most Merciful of all
the Mercifuls. O the most attentive listener among those who are called.
O the best of the place of wish. O the best of the forgiver among all the
other forgivers. O the One to be near to the one who complains. I am
calling upon You. I complain to You and this complain is of the one who

has complained to the world and has lost all hopes. Now have Grace
and Mercy on my weakness. By Your vast Mercy forgive my great sins
and give me the strength to ponder over my inner self. Surely You are
the Great bestower among all those who bestow. There is no lord other
than You. You are Pure and Great and I am unjust and disobedient. O
Allah! O Unique! O Allah! O self-sufficient. O the One Who is neither
created by anyone nor begets anyone, nor has an equal. O Lord! The
ways have tired me. The distant people have pushed me, friends have
frightened me, and when no hope is left You are the ultimate hope.
When calamities overpower us You are the only supporter. In difficulties
and ease You are the only way to salvation. Thus avert the sorrow from
the one whose hopelessness, when ponders on the sins, loses hope of
salvation. O Lord! By Your mercy don't make him disappointed, as You
are the Most Merciful of all the Mercifuls.

(3)
His Prayer in Praise and Eulogy of Allah for
all important affairs and problems
O Allah! You are ever-living Who will never die, You are the truthful Who
never lies, Overpowering everything and no one overpowers You.
Creator Who does not take anybody's help. You are since inception and
will never be annihilated. You are near and never far. You are strong no
one can overpower You. You are forgiving and is never unjust. You are
self sufficient no one sustains You. You are unparalleled and are not
heedless. You are ever awake and never sleep. You accept everything
and is never tired. You see everything and never doubt anything. You
overpower everything no one can overpower You. You are possessor of
Honour that none over power. You are possessor of knowledge, never
learnt anything from anyone. You are strong and can never be weak.
You are a tolerant knowing everything. You can never be ignorant. You
are great and no one can praise You. You always fulfill the promises
and never break the promises. You are just, You can never oppress.
You overpower everything, nothing can overpower You. You are self

sufficient You can never be dependent. You are great You can never be
small. You never exceed in Your judgment. You take care of everyone
and don't despise anyone. You are safe, none can harm You. You are
famous, none can be ignorant about You. You are Unique Who doesn’t
need a helper. You are incomparable. You do not take anybody's
opinion. You are the giver without being stingy. You listen to everything
without forgetting anything. You are generous without being a miser.
You are omnipotent and cannot be degraded. You are the protector and
can never be negligent. You are responsible, knowledgeable and You
never forget. You have existed by Yourself and You never sleep. You
are forbearing and never hasty. You see whatever is veiled and You
cannot be seen. You are Eternal and can never be destroyed. You will
always remain and can never be worn out. You are unique and nothing
can be compared to You. You have the supreme authority which none
can dispute. O Generous! O Munificent! O possessor of the Grace! O
the one Who is near! O the one Who replies! O the most High! O the
possessor of Majesty! O the possessor of Blessings! O Believer! O
Protector! O Honoured! O Possessor of Honour! O Possessor of Power!
O One Who overpowers everything! O Magnanimous! O the owner of
Magnanimity! O the Pure! O the Chaste! O Powerful! O the possessor
of Power! O the one Who can be called from the depth (of the heart) in
different languages in times of various needs! One thing does not deter
You from another. You are the one Who will never perish and the world
cannot destroy You, nor change You, nor can encircle You. Neither
laziness nor sleep can overcome You. Nor can You be compared to
anything. Because You are the creator of everything, there is no lord
other than You. Everything will perish except You Who will remain. Your
self is the most honoured than all other selves. Your remembrance is
pure. Your command is above all defects. You right is obligatory. Your
decision is implemented. Your obedience is compulsory. O Allah, bless
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny (a.s.). Make my affairs easy in
which there is a fear of impossibility and ward away from me the sorrow,
which I and the other believers fear, whose troubles I am afraid of. Make
it easy for me. And save me from the calamities which may destroy me.
O most merciful of all the mercifuls. O the owner of greatness and glory.
There is no god but You, Glory be to You, verily I am of the unjust ones.
And peace be upon Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny (a.s.) the
pure and chaste.

His (a.s.) supplication praising Allah (a.j.)
as taught to Janab-e-Owais-e-Qarni
Dua-e-Owais-e-Qarni
O True Safety! O believer! O True Protector! O possessor of Honour
and great Heights! Pure and Purifying! Overpowering and powerful!
Possessor of Power. O the one Who is called in different languages,
dialects and words at the time of various needs. O the one Whose one
condition does not fear the other condition. You are the One that times
cannot change, space cannot contain You. Neither sleep nor laziness
overtakes You. Ease for me my affair whose possibility I fear. Ease for
me all those things, which trouble me. You are Pure, there is no lord
other than You. I confess I have done wrong, committed misdeeds
committed injustice on my soul. Thus forgive me, as there is no one
other than You who can forgive. And praise is for Allah lord of the
Worlds and there is no power and strength, but with Allah and peace of
Allah be upon Muhammad, His Messenger (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny
(a.s.) and salutations be upon them.

His prayers praising Allah as taught to
Janab-e-Owais-e-Qarni
O Allah! I ask from You not from others. I bow to You and never bow to

anyone other than You. I ask Allah, O the one Who gives respite to
those who fear Him. O the refuge of the one who seeks refuge. You are
the doer of goodness and the one to find a way through difficulties. You
forgive our carelessness, erase our sins, record our good deeds, raise
our status. I ask from You all good wishes and success, such wishes
other than which to seek from You is not proper. O Allah! O the
Beneficent! By Your Beautiful Names! Those great examples and the
countless bounties and by those names which are near to You in
greatness and dearer to You who in the ranks are nearer to You and
honoured and whose intercession is closer to You, and very important in
position, the most effective for acceptance and by Your name which is
Protected, Glorious, Respected and Great, with which You are happy
and satisfied, and one who calls You by these name is Your beloved.
You accept his invocations and it is his right upon You that You do not
refuse his invocations. And by all those names which are mentioned in
Taurat and Injeel, Zaboor and Furqan (the Holy Quran). And by all those
names which are specialized for You, which You have informed to one
of Your creatures or none is aware of it and all those names, by which
the holders of Your Throne and other Angels and those appointed from
Your creation call upon You. By the right of those who call upon You,
who bow down to You, who seek refuge from You, and those who
complain to You. By the right of those who worship You whether on land
or sea, on plains or on hills he calls You. Like whose need is quite
severe and sins are manifold and has reached the door of death,
strength has given way, who has no hopes on his deeds. He is not able
to find anyone to accept his efforts and to forgive his sins other than
You. And he has come voluntarily. There is no intention to rebel due to
Your obedience. O the Protector of all disabled I ask You as there is no
god other than You. You are affectionate, the Great obliger, the Creator
of the Heavens and the Earth. Possessor of Majesty and Mercy. Knower

rich, I am poor, You are everlasting I shall die, You will remain I shall
perish, You are the forgiver I am a sinner. You are the Lord and I am a
slave. You are the king and I am Your subject. You are honoured and I
am degraded. You are self-sufficient and I am dependent. You are alive
and I am dead You are ever living and I will perish. You are doer of good
and I am sinful. You are forgiving and I am a sinner. You are merciful
and I am a transgressor. You are the Creator and I am the creature. You
are Powerful, I am weak. You are the Provider and I am the seeker. You
are the satisfier and I am fearful. You are the sustainer and we are the
sustained ones. To whom should we complain and address our
grievances? You are most deserving from among them as You have
pardoned many of the sinners. How many of the transgressors have You
overlooked! Pardon me, overlook my faults, have mercy on me. Protect
me from the calamity which has befallen me. Don't degrade me due to
my errors. Help me, my parents and my children. Have mercy on us. O
Merciful of all the mercifuls and the possessor of respect and Honour
have mercy on us.

Governor, the Victorious, the Dispeller of problems, the Giver of peace,
the Restrainer and bestower of sustenance, Just by the truth, firm on the
covenant, the clear truth, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Bestower of
rewards, the Lord, the Trustee, the Subtle, the Aware, the All-Hearing,
the All-seeing, the Rewarder of deeds, the Exalted, the near, the
Acceptor of Supplications, the One to send the Prophets, the True
Master, Owner of the amptitude and continuance. Alive and without
decline Who has no death, the Self-existing, the Light, the Forgiver, the
Unique, the Vanquisher, the One, the Self-sufficient, the One W ho
neither begets, nor is He Begotten, and there is none like unto Him.
Possessor of rewards, Aware of the unseen powers, the first one to
create (the world), unparalleled inventor, holder of the convocation
visible and sustainer, one W ho redresses the grievances, wards the
calamities and raises the position. One Who has control over loses and
gains. One Who has the power to Honour and degrade and oblige one
to bestow the right sustenance, the rewarder, the protector. The One to
Honour and oblige. The doer of good, the rewarder, the possessor of
Grace, the bestower of life and death. The one to do what He wishes,
Master of the Kingdom. You give the kingdom to whomsoever You like,
and take away the Kingdom from whomsoever You like. You exalt
whomsoever You like and degrade whomsoever You like, in Your hands
is all good. Surely You have power over all things. You cause the night
to pass into the day and You cause the day to pass into the night, You
bring forth the living out of the dead, and You bring forth the dead out of
the living, and You give sustenance to whomsoever You like without
measure (3:25-26). The One to break the dawn, the One to break upon
the seed. Whatever is in the Heavens and the Earth Glorifies You. You
are Incomparable, the Wise. O my Lord! Whatever I have spoken and
whatever paths I have taken in this day and night I intend to have Your
will in it, so that whatever You wish may materialize and whatever You
do not wish may not materialize. Ward off these calamities from me only
by Your Power and strength Because there is no might or Power except
that of Allah, the High and the Mighty. O Allah! By these names which

are acceptable to You, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny
(a.s.) and forgive me, have mercy on me, accept my repentance and my
deeds, improve my condition, ease for me my affairs and increase my
sustenance. By Your independent existence make me free of wants from
this world, save my face, hands, tongue and chastity so that I do not ask
from anyone other than You. Make ways in my dealings and make the
ways vast, as You are the Knower and I am ignorant. You are possessor
of Power and I am feeble and You have power over all things. By Your
mercy O most Merciful of all the mercifuls. And bless the leader of all the
Prophets, our leader Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the messenger and his
progeny (a.s.) the pure.
